Notes

[1]Trotsky’s telegram to Frunze, Commander of the Turkestan Front,
gave directives for the deployment of the 4th Army, which had
been converted into a labour army for the construction of the
Alesandrov-Gai-Emba railway line and the reconstruction of the
Krasny Kut-Alesandrov-Gai line to a broad gauge.

On January 19, Frunze signed an order for the construction
of the Emba railway line by the 4th Army.
